WALL-PAPER-PAST ING MACHINE.

Application filed February 13, 1915; Serial No. 8,020.

7 To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Srnvnsrnn H. M013- LEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in lVall-Paper-Pasting Machines, of which the following is a specification. I

The invention relates toa wall paper pasting machine, and has for its primary object to provide a machine of this character wherein paste held within a container will.

be automatically applied to one side of the wall paper as the same is drawn outwardly for the pasting thereof upon a wall, the eX- cess paste delivered to the paper being re moved and returned to the container. 7

Another object of the invention is the v provision of a machine ofthis character wherein the constructlon thereof is novel in.

form to assure the perfect working thereof when in use, the wall paper being held in a roll upon a reel and is guided therefrom so that the paste will be conveniently and uniformly distributed on one side thereof.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a machine of this character which is simple in construction, reliable and efficient in its use, and inexpensive inmanufacture. r 7

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pasting machine constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2is a top plan view thereof, showing the wall paper partly broken away. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig.

1 is a sectional view on the line %4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a side view similar to Fig. 1, showin the frame supporting the reel raised.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings. I V

Referring to the drawings in detail, A

designates a tank, preferably made from sheet metal, and forms a reservoir for paste, the end walls 10 of this tank being projected above the top 11 thereof, which is formed centrally of the same with an elongated opening 12 for accommodating a hol- Specificati on of Letters Patent.

low or cylindrical paste applying drum or roller 13 which supports, a felt covering 14 Patented Nov. 30, 1915 adapted to become saturated with paste for the application thereof'to the wall 7 paper in a manner presently described.

The flanges 15 formed-by the protruding edges of the-end walls 10 above the top 11 are formed with slots 16 for receiving the journal ends 17 of the cylinder or roller 13, which is readily detachable in a manner presently described.

Swingingly supported upon the tank A is a frame comprising substantially U- shaped ends 18 and connecting rods 19 which are disposed at opposite sides and spaced from the periphery of the roller or drum 13, the ends 18; being swingingly supported upon pivots 20' mounted in the flanges 15 so that the framecan be raised andlowered when it is desired to train the wall paper 21 over the drum or roller '13, the wall paper being in a roll, and is supported upon a reel 22 which has its shaft or journal 23 detachably engaged in fork terminals 2 1 of the ends 18 of the frame, and upon one end of this shaftor journal is a hand crank 25 so that the wallpaper 21 can bereadily wound upon the reel 22 or unwound therefrom as the occasion may require. c

Journaled in the other terminals of the which permits the adhering of. the wall paper to thewall aft-er the paste'has been applied to one side thereof.

V ends18 ofthe frame is a .presser roller 26 of the roller, which takes up the paste in p the tank A and applies itto the wall paper when the latter is drawn outwardly from the machine forthe application thereof to the wall. 4

Fixed to the end walls 10 of the tankA are leaf spring catches 28 which engage the ends 18 of the'frame to lock the same in position when lowered for the guiding of the wall paper over the paste applying drum or roller 13 so that'the paste from the tank will be applied to one side thereof.

The reel 22 has its disk-like ends 29 formed with slots 30 in which are slidably fitted the ends of a clamping bar 31 which serves to clamp the end of the wall paper per on the reel 22 holds the bar 81 in clamping relation to the end of the paper so as to prevent the same from slipping or becoming detached while the paper is being Wound upon the reel.

The ends 18 of the frame when fastened by the catches 28 hold the ournal ends 17 of the paste applying drum or roller 13 in the slots 16, and on the raising of the said frame the said drum or roller 13 can be readily re- -moved, and when this isdone the tank A can be readily filled with paste through the opening 12 in its top. V

Formed in the top 11 of the tank A contiguous to the front edge of the opening 12 therein is araised rib 32 which serves as a scraper for removing excessive paste from the side of the paper to which the same has been'applied, and this excessive paste flows in the direction of the opening 12 so as to return therethrough into the tank, and in this manner waste of the paste is avoided.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and manner of operation of the device will be clearly understood, and therefore a more extended explanation has been omitted. 7

What is claimed is 1. A paste applying machine comprising a tank, a frame pivotally mounted thereon,

a paste roller detachably mounted in the tank and exposed through the top thereof and held in position by the frame, a wall paper supporting reel mounted in the frame,

and a ,presser roller mounted in the frame.

2. A paste applying machine comprising a tank, a frame pivotally mounted thereon, a

paste roller detachably mounted in the tank and exposed through the top thereof and held in position by the frame, a wall paper supporting reel mounted in the frame, a presser roller mounted in. the frame, and means in the frame for guiding wall paper directly over the paste applying roller.

3. A paste applying machine comprising a tank, a frame pivotally mounted thereon, a paste roller detachably mounted in the tank and exposed through the top thereof and held in position by the frame, a wall paper supporting reel mounted in the frame, a presser roller mounted in the frame, means inthe frame for guiding wall paperdirectly over the paste applying roller, and catches mounted on the tank for locking the frame in cooperativerelation to the paste applying roller.

1. A paste applying machine comprising a tank, a frame pivotally mounted thereon, a paste roller detachably mounted in the tank and exposed through the top thereof and held in position by the frame, a wall paper supporting reel mounted in the frame, a presser roller mounted in the frame, means in the frame for guiding wall paper directly over the paste applying roller, catches mounted on the tank for locking the frame in cooperative relation to the paste applying roller, and a scraper rib struck upwardly from the top of the tank contiguous to the paste applying roller.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
